Mumbai: N.S. Rajan, a former Tata Group human resources (HR) head, who resigned from the conglomerate after the rift between Ratan Tata and Cyrus Mistry, is joining IDFC Bank Ltd as group HR head.
“We confirm that Dr. N.S Rajan will be joining IDFC Bank as Group CHRO (chief human resources officer) and Group CMO (chief marketing officer). He will be CEO (chief executive officer) of IDFC Foundation," an IDFC Bank spokesperson said. When contacted, NS Rajan confirmed the development.
